' RADIATOR CIRCULATING SYSTEM.

Application filed-February 4, 1922, Serial No. 534,098;

To all whom it may concern; 7

Be it known that I, CARL 'M. Jos'rnD, a

citizen of the United States,"andresident of Milwaukee, in the'countyof Milwaukee andState of lVis'consin, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Ra! diator Circulating Systems; and I dohereby declare that th following is a full, clear,

and exact description thereof. V v I The invention relates to cooling systems for engines; 'Hitherto'difiic'ulty has been experienced in automobiles by reason of a failure to get a propercooling actiononthe cylinders withjthe circulatingjfwater; and

trouble has been occasioned atftimes because of the evaporation of thewaterand the conf sequent drying of the jacket, permitting the cylinder walls to become very'hot.

walls, and to utilize the heat conducting The invention aiming'to obviate these dif ficulties, consists of areservolr having a considerable water capacity, yet so shaped as to be' readily positionedbetween the radiator and the engine, and adjacent the fan. Objects of the invention are to produce 'a greater cooling action; on the cylinder tendencies of the Wa-llsgof the reservoir to 7 more effectively cool off the circulating Water, and to effect a balancing action, the

'Vwaterjacket feeds therein.

Additional objects are the provision of a reservoir of such shape and dimensions as to have a considerable .water capacity, yet

. 'adaptedto be positioned between an engine and the radiator and adjacent the fan,1a feature being the retention of standardpagrts in an unaltered condition."

From the deformed iport1oni18 of vthe top, a nipple 23 extends upwardly at anincline, being received in hose 2l- Wl1ich is secured to tubular support l l,the inclination of the standard support" Y l tbeing the same as that of nipple 23. On. the top of reservoir .15 is a vent 25, which maybe used-infconnection with plug 17 for draining the reservoir. U It w1ll be noted thatithe; dimensions and shape of the devices are such as to" giveit a fconsiderable capacity, yet it is readily received'in a small-space provided'in a stand ard structure.- 1

WVhile apreferred embodiment of the in vention has been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the present in-' vention is not confined to such specificembodiment, but may be otherwise" embodied within'the spiritfofthe invention and the: scope of the following claims, and vit will;

further be understood that a substantial I range of equivalence is contemplated. water inlthe reservoir feeding out at a cooler temperature, while warmer'water from the I 'claim: V I v a a i 11in an automobile, the combination of an internal combustion enginehaving a water] jacket provided with a forward flange, a fan located in front of and spaced i downwardlyextending inlet, and ian aux-'- iliary reservoir comprising a rectangular s i tank located between sald engine and fan Other bjects are the provision of a resen- T aligning with the inlet of said radiator and connected therewith' 2.
